Kelso of Brooklyn
http://www.kelsoofbrooklyn.com/

Kelso's brews are really fantastic, ranging staples like their *un-f-ing-believable* Nut Brown Lager and their Pilser to more unusual brews like Flemish Red Ales and lambics. Compare head-to-head (bad pun) with most other beers on tap and you'll get it (even beers I thought I loved seem bitter, thin, stale, one-note, etc. in comparison).
Kelso is one of the very few truly local brewers in NYC. From what I have learned, almost all others that claim to brew in NYC/Brooklyn really are making their beers outside of NYC (even outside of NY).
All that said, these are not precious/pretentious brews made for tragic hipster locavores only. All the ones I have tried are super-drinkable, allowing multiple pints over an evening (a key beer requirement). While beer snobs seem to love Kelso, actual beer drinkers are the real winners

Brooklyn-HomeBrew
http://www.brooklyn-homebrew.com/

Both Danielle and I are professionally trained chefs who have worked in restaurants for over 8 years. We've also been homebrewing for the past 9 years. In all of that time we've made dozens of different styles, using a wide variety of ingredients. From fresh apples to make hard cider, to Bing cherries to make a Belgian Ale. We've made a couple batches of wine as well. Fortunately, even after all of that we've never had an undrinkable batch that had to be tossed out. Cleanliness is close to Godliness when it comes to brewing! Besides beer we love Rock n' Roll, photography, and of course cooking.

Sixpoint Craft Ales Brewery
http://sixpoint.com/

At present this brewery sells only by the keg, but tours and sampling are possible. Their beer is increasingly showing up in NYC bars and will soon be available bottled. Six points have long been associated with the craft of brewing. Since the Middle Ages, it was customary for brewers to brand their beer with a six-pointed star to signify purity and excellence. By the early twentieth century, some brewers maintained this tradition by incorporating the symbol into their logos. In the 20th century, breweries turned their focus to marketing and mass-production and neglected the traditions and customs of craft breweries. Was the legend of the six-pointed brewer’s star dead… or just dormant? Sixpoints has resurrected the legend of the six-pointed brewer’s star. Sixpoints' logo and mission is a modern interpretation of classical brewing traditions, to respect and honor the century-old traditions of craft brewing while forging ahead with new techniques, styles, and flavors.
Every Sixpoint Craft Ales recipe is derived from at least one of hundreds of individual homebrewed batches of beer. Knowing this, it is their firm conviction that homebrewers are the creative geniuses and mad scientists behind the resurgence in craft beer.

Brooklyn Brewery
http://www.brooklynbrewery.com

In a neighborhood that once housed a pre-Prohibition "Brewers Row," this big-name beer company founded in 1987 does right by its craft and community. Friday nights, the brewery opens up its 200-seat tasting room for happy hour, pouring Brooklyn Lager, Pilsner and up to 8 other varieties, including such seasonal brews as Blanche De Brooklyn. On Saturday's free tours, visitors learn about the company, walk through the brewhouse and can purchase $3 beers.
